There’s nothing that warms us up in winter quite like melted cheese. (Frankly, we welcome it any day of the year.)
The Good King’s chef, Nich Bazik, is now offering a Sunday special that’s perfect for all of us molten cheese lovers: a Savoie-inspired take on raclette. That’s bubbly cheese, potatoes, and other tasty accoutrements.
First, there’s the cheese. Good King is sourcing a soft-ripened, washed-rind raclette made in Fournols in central France. Raclette describes both a style of cheese made across certain regions of France and Switzerland and the devices often used to prepare it.
They’re salt-roasting potatoes, then melting that cheese all over them. That cast-iron pan of heaven is then served on a board with Jambon de Bayonne, cornichons, mustard, and lamb’s lettuce.
According to proprietor Chloe Grigri, diners should scoop up a little of each ingredient, then wrap each forkful in ham. Her favorite drinks to pair with the raclette board? A Suze martini or a glass of Mondeuse (from Savoie, natch).
This cheesy delicacy — priced at an indulgent and affordable $17 — is only available on Sundays at Good King from noon until midnight.
